He comfortably imposed himself on an Omonia Nicosia that barely bothered Remiro
The bad news was that Kubo left touched on the shoulder in the middle of the game.
A Real Sociedad already qualified for the next round of the Europa League defeated the Cypriot Omonia Nicosia at home. The txuri-urdin team, who played at half throttle, showed their superiority and, to be first in group E, It would even be worth it to lose by the minimum against Manchester United on the last day of the group stage.

The team from San Sebastian dominated the first 45 minutes, but the chances came in a trickle. The first, in the 20th minute, when Karrikaburu gave an excellent ball to Robert Navarro who, alone against the rival goalkeeper, crossed the course too much.
Navarro himself and Karrikaburu had clear chances throughout the first half, but sometimes Uzoho and others his poor aim prevented Real Sociedad from getting ahead on the scoreboard.
The team led by Imanol Alguacil deserved the goal and the target came before the break, in added time. An excellent cross from Illarramendi from the left wing was headed by Robert Navarro to the back of the net, thus removing the thorn of his failure on the first realistic occasion.
Kubo and Mikel Merino remained on the bench at halftime, the former after complaining minutes before of a blow to the shoulder. The substitute for the second, Brais Méndez, had the first of the second half, but his direct free kick from the edge of the box went up. He did not forgive at game time, when Robert Navarro gave way behind so that the aforementioned Brais could get an unstoppable whiplash.
With the score 0-2, Real Sociedad played at will and Imanol Alguacil gave the opportunity to several youngsters from the quarry, such as Aritz Arambarri or Jon Magunazelaia, striker who made his debut with the first team.
